Connecting your phone to a computer
Connect your phone to a computer and start transferring pictures, music and other file
types. The easiest ways to connect are using a USB cable or Bluetooth wireless
technology.
When you connect your phone to the computer using a USB cable, you are prompted to
install the PC Companion application on your computer. PC Companion helps you
access additional computer applications to transfer and organize media files, update
your phone, synchronize phone content, and more.
You might not be able to transfer some copyright-protected material between your phone and
computer.
Transferring and handling content using a USB cable
Use a USB cable connection between a computer and your phone for easy transfer and
management of your files. Once the two devices are connected, you can drag and drop
content between your phone and the computer, or between your phone's internal
storage and SD card, using the computer's file explorer.
If you're transferring music, video, pictures, or other media files to your phone, it's best
to use the Media Go™ application on your computer. Media Go™ converts media files
so you can use them on your phone.
